disk conversion

[michael squeak]

hey everyone, i was thinking about putting a disk conversion on my nova off the astra but i am not sure if i have to change the master cylinder to the astra one. also is there anything else i have to change to get it to fit?
thanks mikey.

[macc nova]

no you can use all nova master cylinders just change the calipers, pads and disks

[craig green]

front or rear?

SEARCH

[michael squeak]

for the rear, i am going to put 256mm cav breakson the front,

[craig green]

in that case you want the bias proportioning valves from the donor cars mastercylinder.

im still on the standard master cylinder on mine (has disks on back)

but i do find its a bugger for locking up sometimes

[michael squeak]

are the bias proportioning valves easy to fit

[craig green]

They are the chunky hex shaped things screwed into 2 ports of the master cylinder. Brake lines off job to fit....

[michael squeak]

one other thing ive been told is i may have to use the rear beam of the astra aswell is this true?

[craig green]

No. It'd be wide as funk!

PLS try the (advanced) search function.

This has been explained so many times....
